Alumni Studio Access Award
Pilot Program – Summer 2012
This new award provides studio access for art or research projects to graduates of the Book and Paper/Interdisciplinary Arts
graduate programs. Access will be available for specified times, and artists will be selected, as with our summer residencies,
based on the quality or feasibility of the projects submitted. A single residency will be available summer 2012, with limited access
(approximately 10–15 hours per week, preferably between 10-6pm, depending on availability) over a two-week period, June 26–
July 6, 2012 (closed on July 4th). This program may be modified and/or expanded in the future.
• There will be no charge for studio use, other than a $50 studio re-orientation fee.
• Selected artists will be required to work independently, without staff assistance - no training will be provided. Artists must
demonstrate proficiency on any equipment they use, and must observe current studio use and clean up policies.
• The grant will be for studio time only, which will be scheduled to avoid conflict with access for current MFA students.
• Other than the basics (e.g., standard ink and solvents), materials will not be provided.
Applicants must submit a written proposal of 200-500 words, a request for studio (paper, print, and/or bindery) and specific
equipment use, and materials that will be used. See “Application Requirements,” below. Judging criteria will include quality of
concept and artistic merit, appropriateness to studio(s), demonstrated need of the Center’s facilites, and applicant’s record of
proper studio use.
Applications will be available for download from the Center’s website by May 16 (click the “Residency” box) and must be received
by June 4. Proposals will be reviewed and the award announced by June 8.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
• Entry form: Please type or print legibly on the attached entry form.
• Project description: Provide a description of your entire project (200–500), emphasizing what you plan to accomplish while

postcards, reviews, prints of additional work or promotional pieces.
•Artists who violate studio policy may have access revoked. Store of materials and artwork is not guaranteed. Studio policy
requires a deposit for the use of metal and/or wood type. CBPA must be credited for support in the colophon or publicity notes
